### Step 3: Completing the Alignment

To complete the alignment:

1. Ensure that the information in the Alignment Utilities dialog box (Insert | Alignment | New) is correct.

2. When you're ready, click the OK button. PC-DMIS closes the dialog box. If this new alignment differs from the existing alignment, PC-DMIS displays a prompt asking if you want to update affected commands in the Edit window to use the new alignment (see "Updating Commands in Learn Mode" in the "Updating Dependent Commands When the Alignment Changes" topic). If the alignment doesn't change (or the change is too small to matter), PC-DMIS simply inserts the alignment without displaying the prompt or updating any commands.

3. PC-DMIS inserts the commands for the alignment into the Edit window, and graphically shows the alignment on the CAD model inside the Graphic Display window.

4. You can edit the alignment's code at any time by using the techniques described in the "Using the Edit Window" chapter.
